Holiday Card No. 5
I hadn't given much thought to today's card until late this evening when I glanced over at a Dunkin Donuts coffee cozy sitting on my desk (I indulged in a pumpkin spice latte the other day--sooo, sooo yummy!). A few snips with the scissors, and voila! letters for the card. I've had this wide printed snowflake ribbon sitting in my stash for at least two years now. I think I used some of it on some gift wrapping, but still had some leftover. It turned out to be a great background to glue my letters. I stitched the ribbon to the kraft cardstock, then zig-zag stitched the Kraft to some red, applied some rub-ons, mounted the whole thing on a white card base and called it done.
This one would not be too hard to mass-produce, but that would be an awful lot of coffee to drink between now and December!

Very cute card! Great texture and layering!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layout! So classy, love all the textures and patterns in papers, cloth and stitching!
ReplyDeleteAnother GREAT one Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the combo Kraft & red! such a classic!
and you know, I'm a fan for anything one can recycle and recreate so your letters are just the BEST! I was thinking one could recreate the same effect with a crinkler from Firskars? The zig-zag is the perfect "cherry on top"! Bravo! You did it again!!
This is a great idea for a card!!! I'm going to have to try this one! TFS your talent!!! I really appreciate the great ideas you have!

Oh and I was about to add that I was wondering if I could get the same effect from the crimper for the letters! LOL Thanks Alexandra! :)
ReplyDeleteI second the thoughts about the coolness of recycling in art and I agree with you that pumpkin spice lattes are a fab indulgence! I cannot decide if pumpkin spice or eggnog lattes are my holiday favorite so I choose to indulge in both! I love the zig-zag stitch too.
